LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 167
Chapter 167 Dragon God, I Will Sever My Ties With You!:
Yanshan City was finally within sight.
Given the large number of civilians seeking survival, Xu Xi decided not to lead them directly into the city. Instead, he landed on the outskirts and contacted the Extraordinary Management Bureau of Yanshan City. He requested Director Zhang to dispatch a team of professionals to help resettle the people from the Survival Army.
The survival seekers were no ordinary people.
Each possessed some level of Qi and blood cultivation, which in the real world marked them as extraordinary individuals—a status many envied.
With Xu Xi’s involvement, the Extraordinary Management Bureau acted swiftly. Supplies were transported, stoves were set up on-site, and provisions were prepared.
The streets bustled with activity.
Steel vehicles gleamed in the sunlight, exuding a futuristic aura. Doctors in crisp white coats moved about with precision, creating an unfamiliar and somewhat intimidating scene for the Survival Army.
“Brother Xu, what are they doing?”
Faced with towering steel machines and unfamiliar figures, A Niu and the others felt hesitant. They dared not approach the vehicles of the Extraordinary Management Bureau.
The life-seeking army, despite their bravery and resilience in the face of mortal threats, were cautious and wary of things they didn’t understand. To them, Xu Xi was their only safe haven.
“It’s okay, A Niu,” Xu Xi reassured with a warm smile.
“They’re just cooking and preparing a proper meal for you all.”
His gentle explanation seemed to ease their tension, though many still appeared confused.
Having lived their entire lives in the martial world, the Survival Army was unaccustomed to the sights and technology of Earth. Only their desire to see Xu Xi had given them the courage to step into this unfamiliar realm.
Xu Xi understood their apprehension.
Patience became his guiding principle as he helped these simple people adjust to the new world they had entered.
Then, the aroma of food began to waft through the air.
“Ah, it smells amazing!”
“I can smell it too—so delicious!”
“Gouwazi, wipe your mouth! Don’t embarrass Brother Xu!”
The cooking staff from the Extraordinary Control Bureau had set up their makeshift kitchen, and the fragrance of steaming rice and sizzling oil spread quickly.
Finally, the Survival Army began to believe that these steel machines weren’t man-eating monsters but, in their understanding, oversized cooking pots.
The figures in white coats? Clearly top-tier chefs.
This peculiar logic helped the survival seekers gradually accept the existence of the Extraordinary Management Bureau.
“This is a good start,” Xu Xi thought as he watched the gleam of hunger in their eyes.
The Survival Army, long used to surviving on scraps, could now finally eat their fill. For the first time in ages, their smiles weren’t tinged with despair but with genuine happiness.
After ensuring everyone was settled, Xu Xi used space magic to return to the courtyard in the city center.
The past regrets had been resurrected, and he now had definite news of Wu Yingxue. There was no longer a need to have Krisha and his sister search for the martial world.
Xu Xi wanted to inform them and prevent unnecessary effort.
…
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Yanshan City, the scent of food grew stronger.
“It smells incredible!”
“I can’t wait to eat!”
“Mom, I’ll get you the best piece of meat later.”
As steam rose and food was prepared, the Survival Army eagerly awaited their meal.
However, amidst the warmth and cheer, the red dragon Rex Sanchez was quietly retreating.
Step by cautious step, it moved backward, keeping its eyes darting around to ensure no one noticed its departure.
Once it deemed itself a safe distance away, the red dragon exhaled in relief.
“Dragon Whisperer… too terrifying!” it muttered, glancing nervously toward Yanshan City.
The memory of Xu Xi lingered heavily in the dragon’s mind.
Not only was Xu Xi powerful enough to defeat it, but he was also surrounded by beings of unspeakable strength.
Krisha, the witch who had once brought an era of godlessness to the magical world, already left the dragon trembling.
Now, another unknown yet even more fearsome entity had appeared.
“Dragon God, forgive me,” Rex Sanchez murmured sorrowfully.
The dragon was proud, as were all of its kin.
In its youth, Rex Sanchez had been blessed by the Golden Dragon God, an elder it revered deeply. The dragon had once dreamed of avenging the Dragon God’s death and restoring the glory of the Golden Dragon Clan.
That fiery determination had persisted for years.
But reality had crushed those dreams.
First came Xu Xi, then Krihsa, and now another mysterious force.
The oppressive aura of the unknown strongman had nearly snuffed out the dragon’s will to live.
“It’s impossible… utterly impossible to win,” the red dragon muttered, despairing as it stared into the sky.
“Dragon God, I cannot avenge you. Your glory… someone else must bear it.”
The red dragon sighed heavily.
Drawing from human customs, it decided to sever its ties formally.
Reaching onto its massive body, Rex Sanchez plucked a small dragon scale with great reluctance.
“From this day forward, I sever all ties with the Dragon God!”
“This scale shall be my proof!”
Seeking revenge against the witch or Xu Xi? That was a task for other dragons.
As for Rex Sanchez, it only wished to survive and thrive, securing a future for its clan.
“Strategic retreat! Strategic retreat!”
Fearing Xu Xi’s return, the red dragon flapped its wings and took off in a panic.
In a storm of chaos, it transformed into a fiery streak and fled toward the capital headquarters as fast as it could.
